Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 83

Just like what Elijah had told her that day. The rising sun symbolized her new beginning.

Since it represented a fresh start, she shouldn't dwell on the past with Jacob. They were both set to embark on new lives.

"Mrs. Ford, why are you up so early?" Edgar, an early riser himself, had planned to take a stroll in the courtyard but found Liesel sitting on the swing, watching the sunrise.

"I couldn't sleep," Liesel replied with a smile.

Edgar didn't pry further. Instead, he changed the topic. "What would you like for breakfast? I remember you love muffins. Should I have the kitchen prepare extra for you to take away?"

Liesel shook her head. "It's quite a hassle to make muffins, and I have a lot to deal with. I don't really have the time to wait for them to be ready." She smiled again.

Actually, she just didn't want to entangle herself further with the Ford family.

"Well, Mr. Ford was drunk last night and will probably sleep in today. By the time he leaves, the muffins should be ready. It would be just right for him to take them to you."

Having Jacob bring her the muffins felt less appealing than waiting there for them herself.

However, speaking up about it now would seem deliberate. Liesel could only manage a smile.

By the time she finished breakfast, Jacob still hadn't woken up.

Jacob had a car parked there, and Edgar handed her the keys.

Liesel hesitated to accept. But in Vincent's and Edgar's eyes, they were still a couple. Refusing would feel inappropriate.

Reluctantly, she took the keys.

When she arrived at Ford Corporation, office hours had begun.

On her way in, she passed an old pastry shop and bought a variety of treats to share with her team before returning to her office.

She hadn't gone through many documents when she received an email from Jordan containing some materials.

The files included details about companies that Sharp Group was recently seeking to partner with.

Liesel finally smiled.

"Ms. Sharp, someone is looking for you." A subordinate knocked on her office door.

Liesel paused for a moment. When she stepped out of the office, she noticed that the desks in her project department were covered with snacks, pastries, and freshly bought coffee—all from top brands.

She frowned, and her senses immediately picked up the scent of roses. When she turned around, she was met with Elijah's smiling face.

Just yesterday, she had taunted him, effectively drawing a clear line between them. Yet here he was, approaching her again.

"What do you want this time, Elijah?"

Elijah maintained his usual nonchalant demeanor, but there was an unusual seriousness in his eyes.

However, the words he spoke still carried a playful tone. "Guess."
